00:00What a magnificent start to this marvelous day of cricket.
00:05The World Cup Final 1992.
00:09And so this is the first ball of the match being bowled from the southern end.
00:14And straight away Pringle goes past the outside edge.
00:22That's a great shot.
00:23Beautiful shot by Ramiz Raja.
00:26Have a look at that outfield go too.
00:28Into the fence at deep long on.
00:32Oh and it's short and out.
00:33He's hit it, he's hit it straight down the throat.
00:35No ball called.
00:36Watch, oh he nearly ran him out.
00:38My goodness.
00:39And again.
00:40It's all happening out there.
00:42Well, he didn't hear it.
00:44We nearly had it all over again.
00:48Got him.
00:49Yes, he's got him.
00:50Pringle has struck.
00:51He's bowled beautifully so far.
00:58Yes.
01:00Looked as though it had to be desperately close.
01:04Steve Buckner took his time.
01:08Down the ground, over the top he goes.
01:11And that will go all the way.
01:13So nine runs off the over.
01:15A big one for Pakistan.
01:19It's in the air, there's a top edge.
01:21And a possible catch.
01:23And beautifully held but dropped.
01:29Gooch, but it's way over his head.
01:32And well back into the members.
01:35That's what they have to do.
01:36Those areas straight down the ground.
01:38He's such a strong driver.
01:43He's got that pretty fine.
01:47And that's the thousand in World Cup cricket for Javid.
01:52That's hit away.
01:53This could be out.
01:54No, it'll be over his head.
01:55I'm afraid this is coming a little bit too far.
01:57Over his head and into the fence for four.
02:02That's his 50.
02:0491 balls for his 50.
02:06Settles for one as the throw comes in over the bales.
02:13Very firmly smashed away and fumbled there.
02:16Underneath the scoreboard it goes.
02:18And so that means it's four.
02:22Good shot.
02:24That's his 50.
02:25And that may get to the boundary too.
02:27Lightning outfield.
02:3088 balls for his 50.
02:36He's beaten the mid-off fielder for four more.
02:43And this time to the left of Gooch.
02:45So Lewis is proving expensive here.
02:50And Javid has gone to the reverse sweep.
02:53A shot which he has made almost his own.
02:56Straight to both of them at point.
03:03He's beaten the backward point fielder.
03:07If it doesn't get there, they can run four.
03:09But it will get there.
03:14That's beautiful. He's struck for four.
03:16That's a magnificent shot.
03:19And he's got four more.
03:26Down the ground and a catch straight into the hands
03:29of Illingworth at long on.
03:31And Imran for his 70.
03:35Finally goes.
03:38Charge and he hit that.
03:39It could go all the way.
03:40Superbly placed by Wajdan Akram.
03:46Full pitch.
03:48Brother out there diving.
03:49Doesn't get it.
03:5012 off the over.
03:53That's a good hit.
03:54That's going all the way through mid-wicket for four.
03:59Sit that straight.
04:00That could be four more.
04:01The one-off coming around won't get it.
04:03Superb throw.
04:05It's bowled in.
04:06Good piece of bowling by Pringle.
04:07Kicked the ball well up.
04:08But what a fine innings by this young man.
04:10Look at a magnificent ovation.
04:12He's lifted Pakistan into a great position.
04:14Swing and a miss.
04:15They're going to run.
04:17Well, they tried.
04:18He's run out.
04:19Pakistan are 6 for 249.
04:22A magnificent effort.
04:26First runs off the bat for England.
04:27The outfield is fast.
04:29But the ball will slow up towards the end.
04:37He's gone.
04:38He's given both of them a chance.
04:41He's gone.
04:43He's given both of them...
04:45...a good position.
04:47Oh, he's on his way.
04:48He's caught behind.
04:50Stewart turned and walked away.
04:52He knew it was all over.
04:55Oh, he's over the top.
04:56He'll get four runs for this.
04:58He went for it.
05:00Oh, it's in there.
05:01He's dropped.
05:03He edged out a thick edge.
05:04Diving away, Mohun Khan.
05:07But it went to ground and they picked up two.
05:10The stand.
05:11He's might have probed out it superbly then,
05:13but that's a good shot.
05:14Oh, it's through.
05:15Bit of a misfield perhaps.
05:16It was a good effort to get to it,
05:18but couldn't stop it
05:19and it's run away on this quick outfield.
05:21Six runs per hundred yards.
05:23Oh, that's got to be close.
05:24He's got him.
05:25Beautiful bowling.
05:26He wasn't picking him, Graham Hick,
05:27and he was plumb.
05:28Superb effort by the young legs spinner.
05:32That's up in the air.
05:33He's gone out towards deep square leg.
05:34There's a man underneath it.
05:36That's a brilliant catch.
05:38Akif Javed is the man.
05:39He's come in from deep square leg
05:41and he is absolutely delighted.
05:43He's going to do a lap of honour all by himself.
05:48That could run away for four.
05:50This outfield has been very quick all day.
05:52It's been superbly prepared
05:53by the curators here at the MCG.
05:59It's a beautiful strike.
06:00Way over cover.
06:05What a great delivery.
06:06Left arm round the wicket.
06:07Alan Lamb has been cleaned up.
06:11Perhaps so too England.
06:16Subtract Lewis from that list.
06:19Wajih Macron is on a hat-trick.
06:22Played on.
06:25He's charged.
06:26Gets away.
06:27Bottom edge.
06:29It's going to go all the way.
06:30Very available runs for England.
06:32They're in this match still.
06:33They'll go right down to the wire here.
06:36It's in the air.
06:37Surely this must be out.
06:38They can keep it coming around.
06:39Mohan Khan.
06:40He's got it.
06:41That could be the World Cup.
06:43Good performance by Akif Javed.
06:44Keeping his cool.
06:45Fair by the toilet.
06:46Hook it over mid wicket.
06:49In the air.
06:50There's a man out there.
06:51He's going back.
06:52Inside the circle.
06:53Here he comes.
06:54He's got it.
06:55Good catch.
06:56Almost a collision.
06:57Fine bowling and a magnificent catch.
07:00It's well struck.
07:01It's going all the way to the boundary.
07:02That's a good hit.
07:04He's hit that ball to deep mid wicket.
07:09Coming back to the second.
07:10It's got to be Kajis.
07:11The throw's good.
07:12Kajis is out.
07:13The Freitas run out the nine.
07:15A brilliant piece of work by Salman Malik in the deep.
07:17It was a good throw.
07:21That's up in the air.
07:22He's getting under it.
07:23This could be victory.
07:24It is.
07:25Pakistan win the World Cup.
07:26A magnificent performance in front of 87,000 people.
07:30Imran Khan has readied his side to victory.
07:32What a great victory.
07:35Well, the Pakistani players in prayer on the ground to give thanks for their victory.
07:41They've certainly been the side of the night.
07:43Their momentum in this tournament has grown and grown and grown.
07:46And they've timed their best form absolutely perfectly.
